The text in question is Jacobus Philippus de Bergamo's Supplementum Chronicarum. It is a copy from the fourth edition, and second with illustrations, of a popular world chronicle originally published in 1483.

It boasts a large woodcut of the Creation of Eve; three half-page woodcuts of the Expulsion from Paradise, Cain slaying Abel, and the Tower of Babel. Then there are over 60 small woodcut city views, including repeats.

All the content is present, though only 272 (of 274) leaves appear as the book lacks initial and final blanks. Folio size, it is printed in Gothic Type in 17th-century blind-ruled sheep with intersecting diagonal quadruple fillets on covers.

There is a short crack at the bottom of the rear joint, the covers are slightly warped and there is some soiling and a few stains, most conspicuously on the opening leaves, and worming at beginning and end has caused slight text loss.

The antique work is expected to achieve $10,000-15,000 in the New York auction, which takes place on October 17 in New York and online, though it seems plausible that it could be valued even higher by a dedicated collector.
